Route Planning and Optimisation

Jewel’s route planning and optimisation software helps you design the most efficient routes for waste collection. This optimisation results in fewer kilometers driven, reduced fuel costs, and less environmental impact. Planners also benefit greatly, as the waste management software enables them to quickly respond to changes — such as traffic congestion, a driver being unavailable, or a road closure. Even in unexpected situations, Jewel allows you to use resources optimally and keep both residents and customers satisfied.

From Challenges to Solutions

Key Challenges

- Inefficient paper-based or static routes that don’t adapt to real-time changes.

- Lack of real-time visibility and up-to-date status, which stops are completed.

- Poor communication among drivers and planners.

- Manual documentation that leads to reports, complaints, and feedback being handled inefficiently.

- Difficulty replacing or reallocating drivers quickly.

- Low flexibility for order-based or ad hoc pickups.

- Limited performance insight, which makes it hard to analyze trends and optimize operations.

How Jewel helps?

+ Digital route visualization, replacing paper maps with a clear, interactive digital map. 

+ Real-time task updates, where drivers receive next stops in sequence via mobile app.

+ Flexible driver deployment, which enables quick reassignment of tasks when needed. 

+ Simplified planning & execution that supports both door-to-door and order-based collections.

+ Reduced reporting burden leading to less paperwork, fewer complaints, more transparency. 

+ Live insight into progress enabling planners and operations to gain immediate clarity on status and delays. 

+ Accountability and traceability, since every task can be logged and tracked.

Ready to Streamline Waste Collection?

Not handwritten lists and time-consuming adjustments, but a digital system with clear, efficient routes. In Tytsjerksteradiel, this shift meant fewer mistakes, faster planning, and more control. The result? A reduction from five to four collection days, extra time for vehicle maintenance and team coordination, and smoother service for residents.
